Loading Shared Libraries
Description
library.dynam loads the specified (shared) object file if it
has not been loaded already. It is designed to be used inside a
package rather than at the command line, and should really only be
used inside .First.lib(). The system-specific extension
for shared libraries (e.g., “‘.so’” on Unix systems) should not
be added.
Usage
library.dynam(chname, package = .packages(), lib.loc = .lib.loc)
Arguments
chname |
a character string naming a shared library to load. |
package |
a character vector with the names of packages to search through. |
lib.loc |
a character vector describing the location of R library trees to search through. |
Value
The .Dyn.libs vector with the names of packages
which have used library.dynam(..) in the current R session.
It is returned as invisible, unless the chname
argument is missing.
Users should never set .Dyn.libs directly.
